Yes, folks waste time and words on FaceBook (I plead guilty!) but every once in a while a connection is made with an old friend or someone shares some words that stop you in your tracks.
Both happened for me when an old friend, a newcomer to FB, posted this poem today - and it stopped me in my tracks... Thanks, AC!
The Gift
by Louise Gluck
Lord, You may not recognize me
speaking for someone else.
I have a son. He is
so little, so ignorant.
He likes to stand
at the screen door, calling
oggie, oggie, entering
language, and sometimes
a dog will stop and come up
the walk, perhaps
accidentally. May he believe
this is not an accident?
At the screen
welcoming each beast
in love’s name, Your emissary.
Aww, that is special.
